Just up your fruits and vegetables intake. I have known a lot of people who have died after the jab.

Enhancing innate immunity is far more scientific than you suggest (maybe tongue in cheek?) but certainly adverse effects need much more investigation than they've been given. Stay safe.

Not challenging you, just very interested. I've not personally heard of anyone who died. How many people do you know who have died as a result of the jab? Can you elaborate? Thanks!

The latest was my friend John...he had all the jabs and boosters. He was out walking and sat down under a tree and died. He was 67. Of course, they do not blame the jab, but even his kids were like why? He was healthy otherwise and active. There have been at least 6 other unexplained deaths. Just saying. All young. 40s-30s...Sorry, not risking it.

For questions, is the email address below correct (said v quickly at end of podcasts!)?

Im interested to receive the best, independent scientific report(s) showing evidence that the vaccine is beneficial for CKD patients across all stages. Listening to 1 or 2 of the podcasts, that is the general advice (although the focus seems to be on late stage CKD, dialysis and transplants). However, a trawl of the internet indicates that the jury is still out.

If I recall correctly, it was initially recommended by kidney rganisations for stages 4+ then became less specific.

I have lost two kidney transplants and had three covid vaccines before I lost the second kidney. I lost my kidneys due to FSGS not Covid. I am grateful to be on Dialysis and continue my life saving treatment. I hope this response is helpful to you Jackie. Most of all my praying family, friends and community are helpful to me.

 thanks 4 offering your help. I am not on dialysis but have researched it extensively. My hope is that when I need dialysis I may have the option to get a porcene kidney implant as those tested in LA & NY were fairly successful.

I haven’t heard of this implant option. Can you tell me more about it?

Google both porcine kidney implants and The Kidney Project (Bio Mechanical kidney-no immuno drugs needed. ) I am researching these too .

It is not an option yet. Just research at this time
